  • Framework for user-mode crash reporting
    Patent number: 9836343
    Abstract: A user-mode crash reporting system for generating a crash report when an application crashes is provided. The user-mode crash reporting system installs a crash handler to execute in the same process as the application when the application crashes. When the application crashes, the crash handler identifies a victim thread of the process that was executing at the time of a crash. The crash handler then walks a call stack of the victim thread to identify return addresses for returning from called functions of the application. The crash handler identifies offsets within the module corresponding to the return addresses and creates a call chain of functions using the identified offsets. The crash handler then generates a crash report based on the identified call chain.
